However, even if limited exception is considered, access may still be denied. Contractors whose personnel are either denied entry to TYAD or permitted limited entry to TYAD due to the security requirements pertaining to non-resident aliens/non-immigrants are not relieved of their obligation to provide the required contract performance and must do so at no additional cost to the Government. Any contractor failing to perform or that fails to perform in a timely manner under such circumstances may be terminated for default or other contractual remedies as appropriate.

This security screening does not relieve the contractor of any responsibilities to conduct thorough pre-employment background checks and drug screening.

Any contractor personnel on site who fail screening will not be permitted further access to TYAD.

C. The roster that the Contractor submits is amendable. However, up to five (5) workdays will be required to perform a security check on any personnel added to the roster.
